I think my role and back up players playing a disproportionate amount of my games so far has played a role. Also I don't have that many games in total from my players this week. I'm gratefull both Webber and Kwame are out (thanks ) otherwise the disparity between the number of games would have been much bigger.

I think my team will probably pull away tonight though, except if most of them even won't make their averages. I have no reason to believe that though.

Re: ABA - Random Rants and Musings

I just can't catch a break. Even on days when I have more players than Burnzone, half my guys are injured and the other half suck.

No Chauncey, No Brad Miller, No Fransisco Elson, No Toine, and I just picked up an injured Travis Outlaw (hope it's worth the trouble).

Shocker of the century: I picked up Quinton Ross (who?) on a hunch, and suddenly he's giving me 30 f-point games. He's just a flavor of the week, but hey, I like any flavor that comes off the wire in a league this deep and delivers that kind of action. Look out Quinton, now that your on my team, you're destined sprain your ankle in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

I had him for most of the season - he was good for 20-25 per game until the Clips benched him. Then I got Matt Carroll - he's been averaging over 25 for me so I'm fine with that.

Re: ABA - Random Rants and Musings

I'm fine taking your table scraps.

On another topic, I know for certain that I'm a one-and-done team if I make the playoffs. Of the Games I've won, 3 of my victories were against opponents who weren't rotating daily. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that every team I've faced that has a winning record has beaten me.

Not a good sign.

Re: ABA - Random Rants and Musings

One of my lower scores too, but I will take the "W". I gave up Nelson for Rashard, so in the short term I already made peace with my mind for lower scoring expectations.

I hope Lewis returns end of february or the beginning of march at the latest. I hope to hit my peak near the play-offs, but injuries, new coaches and their ideas about who and how to play, non-form of players, everything can change.

Anyway, you played well with what you had, but had a lot of bad luck with Kwame and Webber. Interesting to see what will happen to Webber with regards the 76'-ers btw.

Re: ABA - Random Rants and Musings

Looks like my record is finally starting to fall in line about where it should be. I got lucky playing Shade and Mourning early in the season before either started to really come on. Lucky x 2, as of right now, there's only two winning teams left on my schedule. But I won't win anything in the playoffs unless I really shake things up.

Re: ABA - Random Rants and Musings

How will the trade affect the fantasy value of the players involved? I for one am hoping for increased minutes for Ike...

In the mean time, it looks like BC is headed for his first loss of the season (nice work, Texans!), leaving Burnzone as the lone perfect record holder. Also keeping an eye on the matchup between Mourning and MR. Expecting a close finish there...

Re: ABA - Random Rants and Musings

Wow, I actually posted the most points last week. Wade went absolutely bonkers, and Steven Hunter really came through nicely as my 3rd center off of wavers. Another small move or two and I may actually be able to surprise some people come playoff time.
